PASTEL VALENTINE'S DAY PARTY IDEAS

It's the season of love, chocolate, and lots and lots of pastels! Valentine's Day is one of our favorite holidays, and it's the perfect excuse to throw a sweet celebration for your kids or girl gang! We've put plenty of parties together featuring candy hearts, ombre decorations, and tons of tasty treats. So read on, because we're letting you in on all the secrets, supplies, and decor you’ll need to throw your own pastel party this February 14th!

Pink ombre Valentine's Day party decorations
To set a dreamy party scene, we suggest layering a balloon garland or two. (Big thanks to Party Fun Utah and Pop Park City for working their magic!) Balloons and Valentine's Day go together like cupcakes and frosting, so they’ll complement any V-Day theme.
If you don’t want to commit to an entire installation, a simple balloon bundle is just as sweet! These sweetheart conversation heart balloons  truly speak for themselves, so they’re perfect for balloon bouquets.

Pink balloon garland with heart honeycomb hanging decorations

We love to incorporate classic Valentine’s Day party decorations by layering them with balloons. Here, we draped an ombre love garland beneath the balloons to make the pastel pink tones pop. Then, to add some variation we hung some honeycomb hearts at differing heights. These are one of our favorite Valentine's Day decorations because they're super easy to set up and look stylish anywhere. 

And if you’re willing to take on a little DIY project, this install would also make a lovely backdrop for IG pics. Hello, DIY Valentine’s Day photo booth!

Pink table setting with heart shaped plates and napkins

Our hearts beat for heart-shaped party supplies! We're especially fond of these ombre heart plate and napkin sets because they come in various sizes, and shades of pink—perfect for layering! 

To stylize this tablescape, we angled a smaller dessert plate over a larger dinner plate. Then we added the napkins and pink and gold cutlery sets.

All of the hues in these sets blend beautifully together and look divine when mixed and matched. Layer a pastel pink plate over a hot pink one, add a fuchsia napkin and a peach cup, and you've got yourself the prettiest place setting!

Sweethearts candy inspired this other iconic heart-shaped tableware variation. If you’re looking to incorporate even more color into your Valentine’s Day festivities, a candy conversation hearts party is pastel-perfect! 

These hand-painted placemats have all the classic Spangler candy company flavors including wintergreen, banana, orange, lemon– the list goes on and on! They pair wonderfully with our heart-shaped candy plates, napkins, and cups. To complete the setting, we suggest adding pastel cutlery and a box of tiny conversation heart candies (of course!)

For other table decorations, you can never go wrong with a brimming bouquet of pink and red flowers. These disco heart tumblers and conversation heart tumblers are also fabulous accent pieces, and they double as glam party favors. (Perfect for a Galentine’s Day gathering!)

Valentine's Day cupcakes with themed toppers and tins
Pink Valentine's Day cupcakes for a kids Valentines' Day party

Pink party cupcakes? Yes, please! We recommend whipping up some red velvet and vanilla cupcakes and topping them off with buttercream frosting and various pink, gold, and white sprinkles. You can also decorate them with Valentine's Day themed cake toppers and display them on a cake stand for a centerpiece you can eat! 

Quick tip: if you don’t have toppers handy, conversation heart candies or sour smooches also make adorable dessert decorations!

Bounce houses have become all the rage recently, and when we saw this pink castle from House Party Collective, we couldn't pass it up. Just add some sparkly garlands and throw in a few balloons, and your Valentine's Day party is a guaranteed blast!
